Recommended Readings
Rather than representing an exhaustive list, the recommended articles, books, and textbooks are an illustrative list to promote dialogue and critical thinking among faculty and students in preparation for international experiences. Students and faculty should have a general
understanding of the benefits of international programs, the potential for adverse consequences, and a solid understanding of ethics, plus an introduction to international development and global health. School of Nursing faculty without extensive global health or international health
experience should consult the resources for faculty in addition to the recommended readings for students.
